Crossing The Dragon: The King Sacrifices The Princess At The Beginning

The Underdark.

Sefulman Rift Valley.

Although this is underground.

But there is still a division between day and night.

This is because a special plant grows in the Underdark called a fluorescent giant root.

The root system of this plant is particularly developed and can usually spread hundreds of meters underground, but what appears on the surface is just a large, unremarkable flower.

Their flowers are extremely smelly, which will keep animals away, but they can attract some scavenging insects to help them transfer pollen to achieve the purpose of reproduction. At the same time, their vitality is also very strong, and even if the root system is cut, it will be repaired quickly. .

As its name suggests, these plants absorb sunlight on the surface during the day, and then emit a lavender fluorescence through their roots that spread underground.

Just the opposite of the surface.

The roots of the fluorescent giant roots emit an attractive fragrance, and their root systems are well-hydrated and have sweet sap. Their existence allows many monsters in areas lacking water sources to survive.

Marilla is a member of the drow huntress. Her strength has reached level 5, and she leads a hunter army with an average level of level three. Now, under her management, the hunter army has more than 800 people.

She received a mission two days ago.

That is, he led his hunter army to the surface to protect the meteorite mine occupied by Asha, the Lifeweaver Spider Queen.

To ensure nothing goes wrong.

The Queen also sent two sixth-order Faceless Men to follow her legion.

Marilla is a very cautious person. She is good at making decisions before taking action. This is one of the reasons why she can become a legion ruler.

On the way to the surface, she had been studying the distribution of forces around the meteorite mine.

After many inquiries and some information, Marilla determined that there was only one human country around the meteorite mine - the Andrius Empire.

This information is from seventy or eighty years ago. At that time, Andrius III was in his forties, a fifth-level Silver Knight, and had a mage legion under his command.

However, the person in charge of the empire now should be Andrius IV, whose strength is unknown.

But according to the general characteristic of human kings becoming more and more useless from generation to generation.

Marilla ventured a guess.

The current King Andreus is at most a fourth-level knight, and his mage legion may be less than ten people. Such power is not something to be afraid of.

So what threatens the Lifeweaver Queen?

Marilla found the answer from information about a monster in the Silver Moon Mountains.

That's a hunter's note.

mentioned in it.

In the ancient ice of the Silver Moon Snow Mountain, I saw a giant scarlet eye as big as a round table. The giant eye was surrounded by light gray fur, and silvery scales could be faintly seen under the fur, just like the gray water floating in the winter sea. of dace.

But as soon as he turned around, the giant eye disappeared.

Later, the hunter also discovered huge footprints about one meter thick in the Silver Moon Snow Mountain, spreading towards the top of the Silver Moon Snow Mountain.

After the hunter returned to the village, he claimed to have encountered the legendary Frost Titan on the snowy mountain.

Human knowledge is shallow.

They could not identify what the beast was.

But the elves are different

Especially an old elf like Marilla who loves learning and lives a long time.

She had guessed from the hunter's description that it was a Keira Icefield bear.

This kind of ice bear is huge, and its strength will be promoted to the fifth level when it reaches adulthood, and its fur reaches the level of gray, which proves that this is an old Keira ice bear.

Keira Icefield Bears have a trace of the blood of the ancient white dragon. Their pupils are scarlet and dense silver scales grow around their eye circles. Like the dragons, they have the characteristic of getting stronger with age. When they are on the verge of old age and death, their strength will reach its peak. .

The old Kayla Icefield Bear is generally eight or nine hundred years old, and its strength is generally at the seventh level. It is a well-deserved overlord-level monster. This monster is entrenched in the Silver Moon Mountains and poses a threat to the meteorite mines near the Silver Moon Mountains. Totally possible.

Moreover, after reaching old age, the Keira Icefield Bears will indeed eat some rare metals to enhance the strength of their bones, so that they can support the muscle strength that becomes more and more terrifying as they age.

This is also consistent with the threat to the meteorite mine.

Marilla guessed that Her Majesty the Queen also guessed the same.

Keira Ice Bear has no magic.

Their power only comes from their terrifying defense and power that shakes the heavens and the earth.

However, the brain of this giant beast is as simple as the white dragon they worship, and its resistance to spiritual magic is very low. Two sixth-level faceless men are enough to spin a seventh-level Keira Icefield Bear around.

Riding on the Shadow Leopard and walking among the underground rifts full of fluorescent mushrooms, Marilla gradually became confident.

This mission is more like an experience.

She vaguely realized that after working in the Hunter Corps for so long, Her Majesty the Queen also appreciated her, and it was time to move her position up.

Guessing what her boss was thinking was one of the fun things in Marilla's long life.

Unlike her insidious colleagues, she has a special talent for flattery. She can always detect the thoughts of her immediate superiors at the first opportunity and perfectly solve the tasks assigned by them.

"Chief, the road ahead is blocked."

The report of the huntress under his command came to my ears.

Marilla came back to her senses and stared at the face of the huntress in front of her.

It has to be said that even if their skin turns dark purple after receiving the magical power of Queen Rose, it still does not affect their charm.

Their figures have become even hotter, and their strangely toned skin not only does not make them ugly, but gives them an exotic and wild beauty.

This beauty is purely natural.

This is not an illusion created by a succubus relying on inferior enchantment techniques.

The huntress in front of her knelt on one knee.

A respectful look.

Marilla could clearly see a canyon between towering mountains.

This beautiful drow hunter is her lieutenant Fierna.

After she is promoted, Fierna will be the next leader of the hunter army.

But this does not mean that Marilla trusts Sirna.

Instead, they have been scheming against each other.

This is the normal way of getting along among drow, and the respectful superior-subordinate relationship is just a ridiculous drama on the surface.

[This girl is getting more and more beautiful, I have to find a chance to put some scars on her face...]

Marilla put away her sinister thoughts, raised a friendly smile on her lips, and asked kindly:

"The road ahead is blocked? What's going on? Can it be cleared?"

"We are ordering the goblins to clear the way, but you know that although those despicable creatures are very good at using gunpowder to open roads, they are always prone to making various mistakes, so it will take some time to clear the way."

Silna replied respectfully.

But I was thinking about why this old man didn't move to another place to work.

Occupy the latrine and don’t poop!

Marilla rode the Shadow Leopard to the blockage to check, and found that the road in the rift valley had been completely twisted and deformed, and the surrounding rock formations were also broken, as if a giant hammer had hit the surface hard. It broke the backbone of the earth.

This scene once again conformed to Marilla's speculation.

This kind of arrogant power may only be possessed by the elderly Keira Bear.

Everything connected perfectly with the speculation in her mind.
